The flyback design is a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) that’s been used for 70+ years and still going strong. This supply—also called a power converter—has two distinct operating phases, with power ...

Isolated outputs are required for a broad range of DC/DC converter applications and not just the telecom- and datacom-mandated 48V isolation requirements. Isolation can be necessary for ...

A growing number of electronic devices require both data connectivity and a power source to function effectively. The IEEE 802.3af standard outlines a method for delivering power and data over LAN ...

Isolated outputs are required for a broad range of DC/DC converter applications — far beyond the well-known telecom and datacom mandated isolation requirements. Isolation can be necessary for noise ...

The Forward and Flyback converters are two popular topologies widely used in isolated DC-DC power converters. These topologies are favored by designers for their simplicity, ability to handle multiple ...

The choice between a flyback or single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) topology often ends with the designer choosing the most familiar one, but that’s not always the right option, say John ...
